[AR-News] (SG) Foreign duo questioned over KFC protest

 

 

 

POLICE questioned and released two Hong Kong-based animal rights

activists yesterday afternoon after they held a protest at Far East

Plaza, outside the Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet.

 

American Jason Baker, 32, and Hong Konger Rochelle Regodo, 27,

distributed leaflets and held up a placard to protest what they called

KFC's rampant abuse of chickens in slaughterhouses.

 

The pair, who represent People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals

(Peta), urged passers-by to boycott KFC and Ms Regodo wore a Santa Claus

suit to attract attention. The police let them go after 1 1/2 hours and

said they had committed no offence.
